You were already aware of the fact that investing in diamonds is an extraordinarily profitable and safe investment, which serves as an effective diversification of your portfolio. The type of investment diamond you are after will depend on a variety of elements. The quality of the diamond plays a major role, but the certificate is incredibly important too. Why should I opt for a certified diamond? What does a certificate like that mean?

The investment diamond is formed under extreme pressure and a very high temperature (up to 1200 degrees Celsius). Diamonds are formed in these extreme circumstances, 150 to 450 km under the earth’s surface under the pressure of carbon atoms. Kimberlite is the most valuable blue stone from what the majority of the investment diamond is exploited.

What are type IIa diamonds? Does buying type IIa diamonds offer a good investment opportunity?

Studies indicate that consumers not only want to know how much their stone is worth, but even more from which country it derives. Diamond producer De Beers and Alrosa, the two largest diamond producers in the world, aim for a block chain technology, which must track all transactions from investment diamonds - from the part where they are delved to the trading part.

Diamonds are formed under high pressure deep under the earth's mantle. This compression of carbon can also be created artificially in a laboratory. What is the difference between natural and synthetic diamonds? Is there any difference for you as an investor?

A correct colour identification of a diamond is not an easy thing to do. Only with specialised materials can the colour accurately be determined. For this reason, BNT Diamonds DIAMONS only sells diamonds with a certificate, issued by one of the three largest international renowned laboratories: HRD, IGI and GIA.
